Scalawag

Scalawag is a Durham, North Carolina-based journalism and storytelling organization dedicated to illuminating dissent and pursuing justice for marginalized communities in the South.

We provide in-depth reporting and compelling narratives that challenge dominant narratives and foster social change. Our work encompasses online articles, podcasts, and a vibrant community of engaged members, all united by a commitment to liberation.

Scalawag distinguishes itself through its unwavering focus on movement journalism, prioritizing the voices and experiences of those most impacted by injustice. We are committed to supporting and amplifying the work of Southern activists, artists, and organizers, fostering a deeper understanding of the region’s complex history and ongoing struggles.

Founded in 2014, Scalawag has grown into a vital resource for those seeking to understand and engage with the critical issues shaping the South today.
